The event was all about george getting the award equivalent to an o is caoscar b first mail with that beautiful preg na pregnant belly. She was in her versace ground with a skirt of ombre, black and white feathers. Amal kind of showed off her man. Clooney needed a french translator for this interview. Amal, she is fluent in french. Last night, george was mr. Popular with the locals. He spent time taking selfie after selfie with fans who waited outside the paris concert hall while he rehersed with the ceremony inside. Yeah a real honor. Im proud of it. It will be fun to be in the room. So how did george feel about his award ending in being the most charismatic actor. I called him first and said im gettin the caesar. He said, what . Youre not even french. Thats right, pal. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. George has two oscars at home. He can give one to each twin. He and amal will be missed this sunday. Here is something to look forward to, the new season of dancing with the stars. We have the scoop on the new cast. I pity the fool and i will destroy any man who tries to take what i got. Make way for tough talking mr. T. The former pro wrestler and star of the a team wiil join season 24 dancing with the stars. P source close to the show tells us quote production has been trying to get mr. T to do the show for years. He will be a great contestant. 6, 7, 8 will hey, the guys got moves. We found this clip of mr. T learning to dance on his tv land reality show back in 2006. Im embarrassing myself. Plus, tough competition. We have confirmed olympic gymnast simone biles is also on this season. I would love do that. Have you thought about who your partner would be . I think sasha. It would be cool to be with sasha. It is unclear who her partner might be but boy is the bachelor nation buzzing about nick possibly joining the show. I asked him about it last month. Youve been linked with dancing with the stars. Is that true . I think it would be fun. Who wouldnt want to do it. I think anyone would feel luck aye to be considered. Olympic skater Nancy Kerrigan is also a rumored contestant. Derek hough is not coming back. Maks and peta are welcoming a son in january. Im nervous but very excited to get back. Falhawna burjis is in and she said after eight seasons, this is her year. Hopefully. Hopefully, fingers crossed, guys, this is the one. But you have to vote for me. Lets go for that mirror ball on season 24. You know what, it never hurts to beg. But can we beg to get back to nick right now . Come on, you got do it. I want to see him dancing. Did you know that john mayer is a huge bachelor fan . Just get me the helicopter. Get me the girls crying. Girls crying on helicopters. If you get tears in light on the bachelor, that is prime uff. Now i also found fascinating. John revealed he thought about being the bachelor. But feels like it would be one of the lowest rated seasons. So not true. The oscars is always the highestrated show outside the sports. Yes, it is. But there is a bit of a fashion scandal but there is a report that meryl streep wanted to get paid to wear her gown. Someone from Meryl Streeps camp called chanel after a couture show. They selected a dress for her to wear at the oscars. But then chanels artistic dirichter told the fashion publication he was suddenly asked to shut down the order. It was reported that someone from Meryl Streeps camp made a phone call to stop the dress. They found someone who will pay them. Today merrills publicist strongly denies the allegation saying quote this is a completely untrue story. Ms. Streep would never where anything in exchange for payment. Streeps publicist tells e. T. Chanel knew up front they were one of several fashion houses meryl was considering. And they were told in plenty of time they were going in a different direction. Sometimes fashion houses pay actresses to wear their clothes. Chanel has a policy of not paying celebs to wear their designs but Kristen Stewart has been paid to be the face of the brand. Both Charlize Theron and Jennifer Lawrence has been compensated to wear dior. Schumer were going to wear the same dress. Yeah, dior wasnt crazy about that. Jimmy kimmel is busy going after his arch nemesis matt damon. By doodling all over matts seat card. I wake up sometimes in the middle of the night thinking about the oscars and about jokes. Jimmys oscar secret, he cant wait for it to be over. That will be the best thing about having this pass me is i dont have to think about it all the time. More secrets, he is still polishing his opening bit and the stage is still almost cameraready. When its done, it will glitter with over 300,000 swarovski crystals. Back stage the stars will hang out here in the swanky roll ex green room. Who are you wearing . Versace. Prada. Chanel, thats sort of regal. Most gowns are on llan. But you may not know they have to be returned to the designer studio within the 48 hours of the last oscar being handed out. Jewels go back the same night. Limo arrivals are staggered so no awkward runins between exes. There is an open bar to help nervous nominees get through the night. At the governors ball, 600 bottles of champagne will be flowing and the ballroom, itll be decked out in 10,000 flowers imported from around the world. Ttis year all white with spot of red. I hink itll be a dramatic, very, very different look. All designed by marks gardens. They have been doing this for over 20 years so they know a thing or two about oscar style. We need drama up in the air. We are using white vases and pairing this arrangement of roses with these really cool containers. So this is a new dish this year. Okay, this is totally vegan. And finally, whats a Party Without good eats . Cameron got the low down from the man himself, wolfgang puck. He has been crafting the oscar menu for 23 years. One of the tradition. Our Chicken Pot Pie is always one of our favorite things. Can you see it here with the oscar on top. Baked potato with caviar. Every year. Every year. A crowded favorite. Absolutely. The most expensive ingredient of the night, 30 pounds of truffles, thats 36,000. Most everything is made to order by wwlfgang and his 300 chefs but stars better leave room for the 50foot dessert table. Dont forget we made all the oscars. So for everybody to take home an oscar. So i will give you one too so you dont feel deprived. Oh thank you very much. Honey, i just won. Have you seen cameron with his shirt off . He won. So why it pays to be oscar nominee from lavish trips to bizarre workout gear. We will show you all the swag with stars. Then the new interview with the divorce flip or flop star. Unanswered questions about their split. Why was there crying . I have never taken a gun with me when ive gone hiking. Then the Michael Jackson movie. First on the set with the new infallible total cover from loreal. Full coverage foundation. Superlightweight. Pro formula. Really lasts. But if forever doesnt last forever, just cover and conceal. New infallible total cover. From loreal makeup designer paris. Hid figurers star janelle know ney was awarded i i just dont see the benefit in doing it. I think the house is fine as it is. Thats tarek and christina el moussa. The stars of flip or flop. They dual on morning shows but tarek made certain demands when he filed for divorce six weeks ago so this morning Nischelle Turner asked him to set the record straight. You asked for spousal support from christina and wanted to terminate the courts ability to award support to her and have her pay your legal fees. Why that course of action . To be honest, i just checked the box. At this point, there is no need to go after alimony. Claiming one wanted one off the show and reports of cheating. Both deny the tabloid rumors. So what brokethei marriages . Tarek said life challenges and his two types of cancer. And christina last year dialed 911. Sheriffs say they responded to a possible suicidal man with a n and christina was crying and shaking. One report said they had a heated argument. Thats totally untrue. It seems like there was something going on, though. To be quite honest. It was a complete misunderstanding. I can legally carry a firearm. I decided to go hiking that day. Where did the call come from . Why was there crying . I think the best answer would have to come from christina. Ive never taken a gun with me hiking. There are bobcats, mountain lions. If i had the legal right to take protection, i would. Youre still working together. Mmhm. No weirdness onset at all . I wouldnt say that. There is no fighting, just more quiet day. So if were going down, were going down together. Tarek and christinas contract for the series expires later this year. We are shooting. We shot together yesterday. We would like to continue the show. At this point we havent 100 made the decision. Has the network approached you already . Were in talks with them, yeah. Moving on romantically, tarek said he isnt ready for a serious relationship. He found that christina broke things off with on the internet just like everyone else in the world. Still ahead, meet the star moms. The sweetest mommas boys in hollywood. We got charlton heston. Were with the stars of the new Michael Jackson movies. I worked with michael for years. And a decoy. What does the Jackson Family think aaout this . Have you spoken to the kids about this film . Closed captioning provided by i really wondered if it went down tha is that how Michael Jackson taught his kids hugh to moon walk . One of the coolest moments of the movie about his life. And initial turner is behind the scenes with the man playing the king of pop. Hold on. Make a wish. You know what i wish for . What . I wish we could go back home to neverland. We can never go back to neveeland. That place is contaminated by evil. Who is the man cast to play michael . His name is navi. The trinidad native says for 17 years he was hired by jackson himself to work as his body double. The 40something performer had numerous Plastic Surgery operations changing his nose, cheek bones and chin just to its shocking how similar you look to him. I used to work for him as a decoy. And i performed at his birthday parties. When he went through the trials, i stood outside the courthouse and stood there with a sign saying smooth but no criminal. To me it was important that i wanted michael to know that i believe in him. Michael jackson searching for neverland focuses on the last three years of mjs life as told through the eyes of his two bodyguards. One family incident you see is blanket mischievously pressing one of the panic buttons the Security Team placed throughout the house. Armed guards come running. Everybody down. Blanket, thats not funny. Get over here. Everybody, time for school. I thought about owning a gun once. Then i realized, probably too many people i want to shoot. Have you spoken to the family or the fikids about it film . Ive spoken to the family if the past but i havent spoken to them about this project. But you know, i believe thalt wh that when this project is out, phey will know it is fair and true portrayal. Paris jacksoo has been invited to the set but is yet to come check out the biopic which is based on his book remember the name. Navis goal is to give an authentic performance out of respect to michael himself. If you knew Michael Jackson, he would answer the phone and loved to answer the phone. He was so disconnected i stood with him and fans were gathering and would he sometimes put on an outfit and disguise and go out there. Because he would send pizza in the middle of the night because they were cold and you know, he loved his fans. When youre done with this, will you go back to impersonating him . Or do you feel like you will leave that chapter in the past of your life . Im going back to pick up my glove, put on my shoes and get back on stage. Michael jackson searching for neverland will air later this year. Here is a question for you. Who is this oscar star trying to dig out of lax hiding under a hoody . You didnt fool the paparazzi. Welcome back, leo. Thats leonardo dicaprio. Just because he is so recognizable. That is true. He will be presenting sunday. We have a guess of who his date might be, his momma. Him just that much more charming like so many other oscar men. Leo loves bringing his mom as his date. In 2008 he brought then girlfriend gizelsele bundchen. I got my mom and my gi girlfriend. Winning for the revenant after five nominations, his mom was on cloud nine. Oh, so happy. No idea, very, very happy. Just thrilled. Ben affleck and matt damon bringing their mom for their date. Exciting. A little overenergizing. Matts mom, nancy, even met a screen legend. Charlton heston. And when a star brings his mother on the oscar red carpet when he won for dallas buyers club, Matthew Mcconaughey thanksed his mom, mary. Mm mom tonight, taught me and my two brothers, demanded that we respect ourselves and then we learned that we were able to respect others. Thank few are that, momma. Mom do donna and sister by his side at the spirit award. Good son and good brother. And he has his priorities straight and were proud of him. When Bradley Cooper was nominated for Silver Lining play book he was nervous about bringing his mom. She is excited. She hasnt found the dress yet. Is she nervous . Yes.
